Case Study: Stryker achieves approximately 80% reduction in org-chart labor and 25% improved accuracy with Saba’s Planning@Work

Stryker - Customer Case Study

Stryker, a global medical technology company with about 17,000 employees across 10 divisions, faced a time-consuming org-charting process: teams manually built charts in Visio and Excel, requiring 15–20 people and producing only one yearly chart that was roughly 25% out of date. The company needed an automated, always-current view of its workforce to reduce cost and improve management decision-making.

Stryker implemented Saba’s Planning@Work integrated with its Oracle11i HRMS to centralize HR data and generate real-time organization charts. The change cut the number of people maintaining charts to 2–3 (about an 80% labor reduction), improved chart accuracy by 25%, sped onboarding by clarifying reporting lines, and gave managers timely visibility into resources.
